Adrienne Music Video Magic Tricks

If you enjoyed Hypnotic Love music Video by Adrienne Lau, I am sure you will understand that I am falling in love with her. She is one of those rare Asian women she is sexy and talented at the same time. The "Magic Tricks" is one of her really good music videos that draws some of its dancing moves from Middle Eastern bellydancing.

Shakira and Beyonce music video Beauitiful Liar

What happens when you bring two greatest artists on the planet to perform together even if one of them is not singing in her mother tongue? Magic happens when Shakira and Beyonce get together for the music video titled "Beautiful Liar," you get to see not just two beautiful women at their best, but also producing some great music. What I like is how Shakira, the goddess of bellydancing (you saw the moves in "Hips Don't Lie") "teaches" Beyonce some of the moves. Watch this.

Bellydancing performance video

When I featured this Korean bellydancer, it just proves how global bellydancing has become. I can no longer say that the best dancers are in the Middle East since right here in America we have some of the finest talent. And trust me, most of them have learned it here too.

So enjoy this video clip of a dancer who gives a performance in which like many women in India, she puts a plate full of candles on her head. If it seems too dangerous to you, it is; the key is years of practice.

Video of Korean bellydancer

I know for sure that Korean people have some excellent music, both pop and classical, but I was somewhat surprised that Korean girls are now also getting interested in belly dancing. And with Korea being the Mecca of plastic surgery, we should see a lot of curvaceous bellydancers coming out of the country. Well, if you watch this video clip you will enjoy a beautifully choregraphed dance by a Korean dancer that is simply a joy to watch. Her amazing body shows the perfect movements that would make any teacher proud of her skill.

How to do the shimmy in a bellydance?

It ain't easy to bellydance but like anything else, practice makes you perfect. That is why women who take bellydancing must try to put in at least one hour of practice daily. It is a great way to burn some calories and to learn some moves that will not only come handy in your dance and raise self esteem but also in the bedroom.

One of the more difficult moves is called the shimmy. What is it? It is the ability to move one body part independent of the rest of the body. Meital is a 29-year old bellydancer from Israel and she shows in this video clip how easy it is to do it.

Bellydancers perform live for an audience video

I have featured so many excellent belly dancing videos, but it seems that there are so many more out there that are excellent.

This particular clip is of several bellydancers that perform in front of a live audience. Note that the way we go to theater or movies or standup comedy shows, people in the Middle East visit these cafes and nightclubs where professional belly dancers (and not all of them are Middle Eastern women - many come from former Soviet Union countries) perform. And unlike this one, some performances feature both male and female dancers. This video has been filmed in one of these locations.

Amani Jabril bellydancing video

Bellydancing has evolved a lot in recent years. While it continues to be a dance for entertainment, in many countries, women also use it to workout. However, there are still dancers that dance for the sake of its artistic value. Amani Jabril is one of those belly dancers.

AS someone with an academic approach (Middle East Institute at Georgia State University and advisor to the Georgia State University Dance Ensemble), she is famous for her choreography and fusion of contemporary moves with classical technique. This video clip shows her solo bellydancing performances - one of the best.

Bellydancing routine with both men and woman

We have a huge collection of bellydancing videos (Lulu Sabongi, Eastern European bellydancer, and Lebanese bellydance) but all of them feature just women. However, many belly dancing routines are actually very well choreographed and often include both men and women, though the woman is still the main artist.

So take a look at this video that includes at least one routine in which the lead female dancer is surrounded by a group of male dancers. Later on, the dancer also performs alone.
